Charlottesville Region HMDA

Data Source
- These data come from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and Federal Financial Institutions Examinations Council. All data were collected as part of the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA).
- New data is released biannually on a year and half delay from when it was collected. New data can be downloaded from the Federal Financial Institutions Examinations Council here.
- Data from 2017 and earlier can be downloaded from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau here
- Data presented here are from 2007-2020 (mostly tract averages across those years).
Data specifics
- The HMDA requires financial institutions to maintain, report, and publicly disclose information about mortgages.
- New data is released annually, typically in the summer months, on a year delay (2020 data was released in June of 2021).
- Areas included in these data: Accomack (51001) and Northampton (51131)
- An important limitation to note is that the loan amounts and applicant income values appear prone to entry error at the individual level--a high proportion of values seemed too high to be realistic. Therefore, the tract level summaries of these variables (average and median loan amounts and applicant income in the tract) should be interpreted with extreme caution, or perhaps, not used at all.
